acousticcouplingpanels(self::FEMMAcoustSurf, geom::NodalField, u::NodalField{T}) where {T}

Compute the acoustic pressure-structure coupling matrix.

The acoustic pressure-nodal force matrix transforms the pressure distributed along the surface to forces acting on the nodes of the finite element model. Its transpose transforms displacements (or velocities, or accelerations) into the normal component of the displacement (or velocity, or acceleration) along the surface.

Arguments

• geom=geometry field
• u = displacement field

• n = outer normal (pointing into the acoustic medium).
• The pressures along the surface are assumed constant (uniform) along each finite element –- panel. The panel pressures are assumed to be given the same numbers as the serial numbers of the finite elements in the set.

• Force = field for the force resultant

steadystate(modeldata::FDataDict)

Steady-state acoustics solver.

modeldata = dictionary with string keys

• "fens" = finite element node set
• "regions" = array of region dictionaries
• "essential_bcs" = array of essential boundary condition dictionaries
• "ABCs" = array of absorbing boundary condition dictionaries
• "flux_bcs" = array of flux boundary condition dictionaries

For each region (connected piece of the domain made of a particular material), mandatory, the region dictionary contains items:

• "femm" = finite element mmodel machine (mandatory);

For essential boundary conditions (optional) each dictionary would hold

• "pressure" = fixed (prescribed) pressure (scalar), or a function with signature function T = f(x) If not given, zero pressure assumed.
• "node_list" = list of nodes on the boundary to which the condition applies (mandatory)

For absorbing boundary conditions (optional) each dictionary may hold

• "femm" = finite element mmodel machine (mandatory).

For flux boundary conditions (optional) each dictionary would hold

• "femm" = finite element mmodel machine (mandatory);
• "normal_flux" = normal component of the flux through the boundary (scalar), which is the normal derivative of the pressure.

Output

modeldata = the dictionary is augmented with

• "geom" = the nodal field that is the geometry
• "P" = the nodal field that is the computed pressure (in the general a complex-number field)

bulkmodulus(self::MatAcoustFluid)

Return the bulk modulus.
